my choir com term has finally ended and my life in choir is OFFICIALLY over...hmm. mixed feelings.

felt a bit weird after the new com was announced and we were dismissed by andrea...realised i would never enter recital room as a choir member again. jeez...

and my last act as secretary was making a new contact list for the new secretary, teachers and ms tham. it's like coming full circle in some weird way.

on a better note, congrats to erick and yao guang for making it into the com. i'm sure you guys will be great. good luck to my successor christopher. may you have an easier time than i did.seriously.

ok the sister left for new york yesterday..hope she has fun and remembers to buy my krispy kremes...

watching everwood for the first time in donkey years now. ephram has gorgeous hair...i love guys who have hair like this. but the amy/ephram thing is so old la..how bout some new blood on this show.

right, time to go bathe...i hope it doesnt rain today...and i hope dinner at my uncle's house is not boring. i think i'll spend my time in the backyard playing with the dog and the rabbit. i miss that dog. she lights up my life every time i see her.

btw, i successfully cured my digestive craving yesterday. i ate 7, yes SEVEN chocolate digestives. somebody give me free lipo.

my bed has never looked so good.

spent last night in school just cos i wanted to. wednesday afternoon was the unofficial start of sports carnival(after SC invest which was quite fun). i initially dint wanna do anything except the 2.4km run with choir at night, but got dragged into playing ultimate frisbee for choir due to a lack of manpower. so, plastering up the disgusting wound on my left ankle, i went to play, fell and injured my right leg. brilliant.

spent the afternoon/early evening supporting Jason and Arvin at titans. both were sick but i thought they both did great. their grit amazes me.

after that went to run 6 out of 290 rounds with choir...my legs were killing me but still managed to complete 2.4 without stopping, and even managed to sing on a few of the rounds. hung around for a while with keng,kenneth, pearlyn and grace on the comfy track but then my stomach called so i went for supper with my class.

came back to bathe, which was torturous for my ankle and hung around til 1130, when jason and i joined arvin under trc to sleep.

but as you know, nobody really sleeps overnight in school, so by 130 i was back at the sports com with jason and bob watching ppl running thru the night. ate a ramly burger while waiting for jason to run for hockey, and believe it or not, fell asleep right there on the track from 4 til 530, before moving back to under lt2 to sleep til 615...after which was a brand new thursday, and the official start of sports carn.

shing and i were roped in to play captains' ball by eevien due to the asshole beta knights who dint show up...so it ended up with me and shing joining 4 of the beta house com members.unsurprisingly, we lost. spent the rest of the morning getting a tan, walking around, getting tanned somemore, discretely taking pics of TB and then cooling off at the scope, after which cheryl and i staggered off to the bus stop to go home. i told myself i wanted to take a nap once i got home, but i'm lazy to bathe and i refuse to sleep without bathing. i think it's time for some chocolate digestives.

i had nothing better to say today due to the total lack of connection between my exhausted brain and fingers, so i just decided to bore you all with a summary of what i did yesterday and today. too bad...

hello world... i am currently suffering from a lack of estrogen, the hormone that my disintegrated uterine lining has washed away and am suffering from a headache, a backache, a wisdoom toothache and severe hunger(the last 2 being unrelated to the lack of estrogen)...so basically i am NOT a happy camper...

(sidenote: apologies to any members of the male sex reading this...it might not be the most appealing opening sentence but whatever)

sometimes i hate being a girl.

hmm...first round of voting for choir elections is over and i have been subtly accused of leaking election results. it is NOT my fault if a whole bunch of seniors looked at the paper while the exco was looking at it. i have no idea how that little SHIT got hold of the results!! hmph...i will be over the moon when all this crap is over on friday.

as usual, havent really done any work...my persistent backache sorta ruled studying out. all i wanted to do when i came home today was take a bath and lie down. i hate school. i want my brain to automatically absorb organic chem like a sponge, is that too much to ask.

sports carn starts on wednesday. i'm playing bloody frisbee for choir...as if that wasnt enuf, i have to stay til 9plus to run 6 rounds with choir as well...the only appealing part of this entire thing is that i might stay over and go night cycling, and that thurs and fri have no lessons... Da Vinci Code on thursday anyone? all before my 5pm tuition that is...

this is the last week of school...i have wasted 5 months (plus last yr's 1 year) doing absolutely nothing that will help me get into university...God save my soul.

all right, time to cure 1 out of the 4 aches now...dinner calls.

right...so this weekend was mother's day weekend and my sis and i took my mum to delhi restaurant in serangoon road which was great fun since i hadnt had good north indian food in ages. tandoori chicken with mint sauce and garlic naan should be made a sin punishable by law...its too good to be legal! nav wants to go there sometime next week so i shall have my fill again...

went for the philipino choir concert that night which was very good. but a certain someone wouldnt change seats with me cos the view at my original seat wasnt good enuf for him. so erick and i basically spent our entire time there craning forwards in our seats. nice...

choir elections are starting which i'm thankful for. i must say, some juniors really give stupid instructions...they're downright dumb i swear....but no matter...i knew who i was voting for even before a single one of them opened their mouths.

tuesday was chem spa...MY FINAL CHEM SPA THANK GOD...which went pretty well..went to eat 10min $1 chicken rice for a snack before going back to chem class to find out that i had failed yet another chem test and would have passed had i just done the incredibly easy NMR question at the back. failed maths spectacularly too..

today went to watch bball 3rd/4th placing match which we won!! it was so funny to see everyone sprinting for the buses the moment the match ended so we could make it for the volleyball final which we lost in the end. and my throat hurts so bad from screaming at the kayu refs that i probably wont talk tmr...

cheryl still refuses to eat. how irritating...and my mother is up to something funny.

it's over...i can't believe it...7.5 years of my choir life is over.has it really been so long.

After all the sweat, tears, sore throats, backaches, leg pains, mental exhaustion and occasionally blood...it all finished tonight. i don't know whether to be happy or sad. it feels like a part of me is empty now. it's so weird to think that after 7.5 years, i'll never step into a proper choir practice again.

primary school choir: i learnt nothing

Cedar choir: i learnt the importance of technique, knowing my notes and rhythm and dynamics. i turned into a powerful singer but also a robotic one...no emotion whatsoever. also learnt that no matter what: THE SHOW MUST GO ON...

TJChoir: i learnt the importance of heart when you sing. a song is nothing if you don't feel it. the importance of breath and the body and the instrument...and most importantly...a performer is always right on stage and everything will be fine if we just have fun...

i think choir will always be a part of me and i'll always love singing, i have no idea what my life will be like without this constant in it...

to ms tham: you are the most inspirational conductor i have ever had the privelage to sing under or watch. you are a genius and you have taught me so much. thanks for the memories. i'll never forget you...

to my bitch club...you guys were my saviours during all those crappy practices where we were pissed off at everyone but each other. Keng, jon, donna,cheryl and grace...my rocks...couldnt have done it without you...

to P8 my beautiful buddies whom i cannot imagine my life without, you will always be my babes and in my heart...

time to wrap up and move on. A levels beckons...choir will forever be a bittersweet memory...i may even decide to change my decision about never joining choir again. we'll see...7.5 years. wow.

i had so many things to say before i logged in to blogspot. now they've all vanished from my head. but i know one thing...i'm so physically and mentally exhausted that i can barely find the strength or the willpower to move.

but of course, T-effing-J will never give me a break. i mean, when there are so many muggers about, it would be almost sacreligious for me to rest.

Mon - physics test FAIL

Tues- econs csq test FAIL

Wed- maths test FAIL

wed night homework:

GP-research fucking space exploration for tmr's fucking class which nobody fucking pays attention in let alone fucking likes...

Maths-tutorial 14...my notes for this chapter are blank because i spent the lecture catching up on other work.

Chemistry - Electrochem tutorial which is NOT FUCKING TESTED IN JCT...plus 2 supplementary exercises and remedial homework...test next monday might i remind you.

Econs - FOREX drq, even though forex has not been finished in the lecture...WTF LA!

i'm really cracking...with choir being so crappy all the time, i really have no let up from all the bad stuff going on..i keep telling myself 3 more days, but i cant stand it...i want to punch someone...preferably 6, or eg, or fag...who the F do they all think they are...seriously...they have no idea how much others hate them...i wish i could enlighten them...

feeling especially bitchy these days, no prizes for guessing why...

i need krispy kremes and my toasty hotel room and alex karev that sexy beast.

ok yesterday the volleyball girls lost...poor aga. i thought she played well, but sometimes life just doesnt go your way eh? guys won tho...and i had a few startling revelations as to who's on the volleyball team instead of basketball. i mean come on...they all hang out together, what was i expected to think?

so anyway, it was a time to stretch my vocal cords and do some cheering. also saw keng there... went out with him, arleney and arvin my fave bitch to watch MI3 after that which was damn cool from start to end...jonathan rhys-meyers is hot stuff.

saw huiying and mich at CCAB which made me really happy..especially seeing partner whom i havent seen in ages and ages...gosh i miss those cedar days at the back of class and at cheerleading...

today i woke up late...had my leisurely donut breakfast, read the rest of pride and prejudice and then had a 3 hour nap...of course A levels is a million years away, dint you know?? then went for dinner with mummy dearest and my sister... went to watch the play "the candlestickmaker" which was really entertaining, then went for dessert.

my mother has been shopping and going out a lot lately...very different from the previous, stay-at-home, morose mother i used to have. the change is startling, but if she's happy and not bugging me to study, who am i to complain?

my sister goes to NYC on 26th may and comes back on 10th june. she'll be leaving for australia on 3rd july...i must say after 17.5 years in the same house as her...it'll be extremely weird when she's not there...only my mum left in the house...i think i'm gonna be silent at home from then on...so i warn my girlfriends now...if i call and demand 1 hour bitching/gossipping sessions on the phone, dun be alarmed...i need somebody to tell all my TJ stories to.

gosh i seriously need some eye candy that's not a tv star...my hormones need SOMEONE to rage about...

just finished reading PnP again... why cant I find a Mr Darcy for myself?? or an alex? or volchok? after getting my 3 As at A levels of course...please God save me from this vicious cycle... BAH!

right. tmr there's physics spa skill A which i know nothing about and i'm here blogging. great priorities eh?

well there's 2 tests next week, along with 4 5-hour practices.greaaaaaaat. really really spectacular. i hope you all hear the sarcasm dripping off ever word.

it's election week in dear old sing-jia-pore now, and normally i could give a rat's ass about politics, but this time i'm really fascinated at all the mud-slinging and personal attacks going on. seriously, james gomez, chee soon juan, steve chia, i mean cmon ppl, there are better things to talk about rite? like creating jobs for older workers, upgrading lifts etc. ok i'm sorry,actually i just dont care. what really shocked me though, was the number of ppl that turned up for the WP rally in Hougang. considering that National Day, Singapore's biggest national event gathers 50000 ppl max at Kallang every year, just think about 100 000 ppl (DOUBLE) stuffing themselves into 1 field to hear Sylvia Lim and Low Thia Kiang talk. i've got a picture, courtesy of one yawning bread and here it is:

quite amazing eh? maybe you cant see it well enuf since my background is black, but go check it out on yawning bread and you'll see it in all its glory. and of course no local paper published this photo, but a malaysian tabloid did...

ok time to go eat froot loops and study spa now.

tmr prac is at dunman high. kill.me.now.
